The guys decide to go back to their roots: Moving forward they will only be talking about garbage. Literally some of the worst cards printed. But one man’s trash is another man’s treasure.

The sky is falling? Wait, no it’s just the massive ban announcement and the demise of the Unofficial official Commander Rules Committee (RC). Bruce and Pete discuss all that has occurred in the last two weeks for the Commander format. As the wizarding world was swept into utter chaos, Bruce and Pete could only watch with apprehension. The dust has settled and the guys are looking to the future now that Wizards of the Coast has received the Rules mantle.

The guys adjust their ratings for the new insurance plan Saheeli has brought forth to Kaladesh. They explore recent and old mechanics of the game through Mark Rosewater’s Storm Scale to better understand why they are getting charged so much this fiscal year. They debate which mechanics they believe are beneficial, ones that deserve banishment, and ones that need more love. What is a Vehicle without its mechanic? Find out this week!
